      This article brings up a good point when discussing the negative ad positive sides of media convergence. I agree with certain points from both sides. On the negative side I agree that not all voices are taken into account, only those with access to new media. On the positive side I agree that the input that is given from voices heard helps improve services and generates awareness. 
  • uggesting that media audiences nowadays play a crucial role in creating and distributing content,
  • decline in the diversity of material offered and result in a tendency that voices of those lacking economic power will not be taken into account
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • mprove the value of the service, the flexibility of topics and the competence of the contributers’ as well as enable technological developments, change the elitism of media professionals and create new general awareness
  • certain segments of the audience arguably remain neglected and unable to fully participate in the new media culture.
  • new forms of interaction between producers and consumers

    This article talks about how technology is changing the way we listen to radio. Also, how podcasting is changing over time and its impact on radio. With the ability to pause, rewind, and re listen to radio and podcasts, people are no longer sharing the experience of listening to radio live and together (co-presence). Also, how radio blindness is being lifted with the ability to watch videos on mobile devices etc.

      World of video games by many business folks is viewed as form of entertainment, and as result it is categorized as such. At one point it was considered the niche of grand marvel of entertainment industry.   But this was in the past; now-a-days videogame industry has more money flowing through it then even filming industries like Hollywood, and biggest drawback from this sudden growth has been inflow of money hungry investors whom view this sector as only vessel for cash flow and not creativity. Who can blame them? Its part of the game! The downside comes in for of taxation on creativity and vision, large publishes are only willing to make bet on sure-fire hits with general public, they wish not to invest in to truly wonderful and creative games that would redefine the landscape. Kickstrater website is one of many of its kind that allows gamers and any one else who is interested in investing towards such video game venture in hopes of playing it one day and claiming the credit of making the difference!

  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity

      The power of social media. Everyone is a storyteller, and the simplicity and availability of electronics, social media, and the world wide web, makes it possible for anybody to be a relevant news anchor.

  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”

  • To summarize, a visitor sees the headlines they want to read, view the summary, and click through to your site to read the rest of the news, either in a new window, or without having to leave the application they are in. And when you update again, the reader will notify them that you have new headlines, and/or populate the list of items you have available. This can keep your audience coming back. It is so easy you would be crazy not to do it!

  • This requires that podcasters have the opportunity to make at least part of their living from their productions. It means podcasting has to go from being a hobby or an activity promoting some other media venture to being an end in itself.

    This article talks about how 2013 was the years for podcasting. There are a number of factors that play in the rejuvenation of the podcasts popularity. Riismandel first says that the popularity came back when main stream comedians started use the podcast medium as a way to share their comedy with their audience. This brought back a big audience, but comedians can't be thanked alone. In order for podcasting to maintain this growth it needs to become sustainable, meaning people need to make profit from their podcasts. The launch of a podcast advertising agency did just that. This is good news for the future of podcasting because it is now a business instead of a hobby. Another point Riismandel makes is that the ease of accessibility to download podcasts via apps has helped with the growth it has seen in 2013.

      While crowdsourcing is all the rage this days, ranging anywhere from film making (seeking funding on pirate websites) to video game funding, yet not so long ago crowdsourcing was a new concept. This article is one of more early examples of such funding in its infancy.  Article dates from 2009. Please note that such examples that are covered in this article geared towards financing funding as opposed to innovation and idea funding. In first article out of five we will look at early stages, in following article climax of financial/social success will be covered with ultimately looking on last two articles how such crowdsourcing ideas have failed and succeeded.
